Another Day at the Beach

For some reason I seem to go to the beach more often in winter than summer. It's a surefire system for beating the crowds (and letting dogs run loose). So a couple Sundays ago. I went with Tom, Sally, Natalie, Ben and Andromeda up to Fort Niagara State Park on Lake Ontario. These pictures were taken there. That's Sally scanning the ground for shells and porcelain fragments above.

The weather was actually pretty mild, even with the wind blowing in off the lake. But you can definitely tell from the leafless trees framing Natalie, Ben and Andromeda that it was still winter.

I wonder how long that tree has been leaning into the pounding wind and water? I wonder if it'll still be there the next time I go?

This is one I'd like to work on a bit, to see if increasing the contrast of those shadows on the sand would make a difference. But I think it looks pretty good as is.
